Evaluation Question 6.

Evaluation Question 6.

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Throughout the whole filming and editing process, I have used a number of different technologies, software programmes and websites. Some of which include things like: Blogger, YouTube, mini HD digital camcorder, LiveType, Final Cut Express and many more.

Software such as Live Type were used in order to create an Ident for my company and the programme Final Cut Express was used in order to edit and render the final film project. For me, this was the first time I had used both of this programmes. Therefor I learned a number of new skills and techniques within the editing department. I know feel very confident with both of these programmes and I look forward to editing more in the near future.

  

Online websites such as YouTube, Blogger and Wordle were used within the construction part of the film making. YouTube played a more major role in the 'research' part of the film making in order to look for inspiration, however, I also used it so i could upload my projects (actual film and preliminary exercise). Blogger was used throughout the whole film making in order to record what I have been taking part in and also carrying out any more research that i felt necessary. Finally is Worlde, this was used in order to create a Worldle for my evaluation. This is a programme that I didn't use before so it was fun getting to grips with it and learning how to use Worlde in order to create more advanced and effective Wordles.

Finally, and probably the most important piece of technology used, is the mini HD digital camcorder. It was fun using this as it was the first time that I'd filmed before and I was constantly learning new tips and tricks when recording. Thankfully, with this type of camera, and due to the lack of audio in the film, we didn't need to use an additional mic. However, I did a quick test just to see what is was like so this is also something new that I had learnt.
